Well, I finally had to say goodbye to the antibiotics, as they were causing many unwanted side effects. I did not think that they were doing much anyway, but ohhhhh, was I wrong. I have only been diagnosed clinically, without a positive test result. I have always had doubt at the back of my mind, if what I have is in fact LD. If many symptoms got very severe in the 8 days that I have been off (herbal mixture is being couriered), do you think that gives more credibility to a LD diagnosis. Many of my symptoms did not go away or even improve while on the antibiotics (on for 10 months) but the ones that have flared now that I have stopped are : dizziness, rib pain, bad pain in every joint, increase in strength of headaches, joints "catching" again - particularly neck and knees. I have many other symptoms but they are presently quite consistent with how they have been through my 10 month treatment of antibiotics. It would just be nice to be more confident that I do have LD. Thanks!
